TRIBUTES
You were a lovely, nice man. Thank you for your professionalism, guiding me through a house renovation. Lovely way with people, you were kind throughout.

A request for a strong cup of tea and some ludicrous jokes were always guaranteed when you popped round. I will miss our unnecessarily convoluted discussions over how to fix things. Thank you for the laughter and for the help in the house. RIP.

You will always be in our hearts. We will miss you so much. But we will always remember the wonderful times together … all the life moments – weddings, births, Christmases, holidays – your kindness, your heart and your help (whenever!). We are so proud to have been part of your family! Peace be with you. Love always.

My memories of Paul always include his laugh.
I remember one of the girl’s birthday parties to a zoo and we all had such a good time.
Then there is the Sunday roast and all the care that Paul took to make it perfect.
Then there is his joy when he built a little ‘sewing room’ for Maddy.
Just to say what a lovely, funny and caring person Paul was.
I am sure he will have a party up in heaven with giggles all day long.
Rest in peace

I have known Paul for the best part of 50 years. Pat & Terry Willis were initially his friends from school. We spent many weekends trawling through the pubs in Hampstead, all of us together. We had so much fun and laughter. I will never forget the wonderful times we shared. Rest in Peace my friend

Apologies but this might be quite lengthy. Paul and I met 61 years ago when we were at St Anthony’s Montessori school in Mill Hill. My sister and I were frequent visitors to his mum’s house in the 1960’s. When he went off to boarding school it was just school holidays that we met up. fast forward to when we were both working in London, we would meet up regularly usually over in Tottenham Court Road where he worked. My job took me overseas a lot but when I met my future wife, Angela, Paul was always meeting up with us, We were frequent visitors to his home in Brook Road, Just as well for us as he was a great cook. He was at our wedding as we were at his with Gen. But before that Paul was always turning up at our various homes after we had our daughter Aimee, usually in his beloved Porsche. My work took me overseas to live and work for many years but we never lost touch, that is the kind of person Paul was. Last year, however, my wife was diagnosed with cancer. Despite Paul’s own issues with the disease, he supported me fully during the few precious weeks I had left with Angela. That sums him up in a way, prepared to go out of his way to support others. Angela always said that he could talk the hind legs off of a donkey, how true. But that laugh. I will never forget that or you Paul. Aimee, myself and our mutual friend Steve Drake all raised a glass in your honour Paul. RIP (and don’t let Angela nag you up there!).

Dear Paul what a special, kind, funny and beautifully cheeky soul you were. I first met you when Gen introduced you to me over in St Margarets. You had a great twinkle in your eye and it was fantastic to see the two of you begin an adventure together all those years ago. You will be missed, with much love to you Paul. Remembering you humour and smiles. Huge Love at this time to Gen and Maddy

We will miss you, Paul. Your infectious laugh and terrible jokes. Your ability to natter on the phone for hours. The way you would phone me up at work to tell me that you were in my house drinking my coffee and eating cakes my wife was feeding you. You always had an easy, cheerful way about you that made everybody’s day a little better. Life won’t be quite the same anymore.
